Guitar in the Forest

About a month ago Mr. James visited both Pine and Dogwood in the forest. He brought his guitar and played some of our favorite songs that day. Well, we were once again graced with Mr. James presence, BUT this time the kids got to help play some songs! Everyone enjoyed being able to strum along as Mr. James changed chords. They followed his directions as they waited patiently in line to take turns strumming one at a time. It was such a nice way to spice up a regular day at the forest. Music and nature are powerful!

Day 2 Pine Room Fun!

She took a deep breath and jumped off the log. S swung with grace over the ground. The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns. Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try. L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...
